The Snake Girl and the Silver-Haired Witch

Young Sayuri (Yachie Matsui) should have been delighted that her birth family claimed her from the orphanage where she'd been raised. However, her toxicologist father is oft-absent, her mother is addled, and her creepy big sister Tamami (Mayumi Takahashi) delights in tormenting her. Are the bizarre dreams that she begins to have just a result of the trauma--or is something otherworldly at work? Chiller adapted from the Kazuo Umezu manga co-stars Yûko Hamada. 82 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Japanese; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; featurette; image gallery; theatrical trailer. In Japanese with English subtitles.
